TRANSFORMATIVE
Why Slow?
We understand that your guests seek more than just a typical walking or hiking excursion – every detail is meticulously crafted, and all the “frills” come as standard:
Bespoke
All our tours are private and designed to provide a truly unique experience. Each itinerary is tailored on the day to suit the group's fitness level, skills, and preferences. We deal solely with the travel trade, catering exclusively to DMCs and tour operators.
Safety
Our guides are GPS tracked and supplied with medical kits and safety equipment for steep ground to ensure a safe environment at all times. With SLOW, your guests can embark on their adventure with confidence.
Expertise and Flexibility
SLOW guides are accredited as both Mountain Walking and Cultural guides. This dual expertise allows them to navigate both mountainous terrain and bustling city streets with ease, ensuring complete adaptability to changing circumstances for your guests.
Added Value
Refreshments are included
Your guests will be treated to our signature “trailside tea” at a scenic vantage point, where they can replenish their energy with some quintessentially South African snacks, a selection of hot beverages in winter or ice tea (with ice!) in summer.
Each guest will receive a BPA-free plastic water bottle, which will be continually replenished with filtered water throughout the trip.
Variety
We offer walking/hiking experiences on Table Mountain, Lions Head, the Cape Peninsula, Constantia Winelands, or in the City to cater to your guests' preferences.
Special Occasions
Please let us know in advance about any special occasions like birthdays, honeymoons, or anniversaries. We'll add an extra touch of magic to make their experience unforgettable at no additional cost.
